Hammacher Schlemmer's killer whale submarine looks just like an
orca and travels at a max speed of 50 miles per hour. The submarine
doesn't go very far underwater so a built-in snorkel is used to
supply air to the engine as deep as five feet. The pilot uses
levers to control pectoral fins and steers with foot pedals.
